## Overview

Daiso Sumi Calligraphy Liquid Ink is a 180ml bottle of premium black ink imported from Japan, designed for calligraphy and brush painting. It offers a rich, stable pigment that resists bleeding during wet-mounting and cleans easily with water. Ideal for sumi-e and watercolor artists seeking authentic, high-quality ink with minimal odor and spill-proof dispensing.

## Description

Made in JapanColor : BLACK Size :6 x 2.2 x 1.25 180mlCondition : Brand New

Review: Richly dark yet watery enough to be easily grey if need be. It’s perfect for testing new brushes and paper! The size is big, you really don’t need as much as you’d think because of how high quality the ink is. Perfect for bordering and calligraphy, and possibly dip pens but I have yet to try them.
Review: I have used this ink for quite some time and I would make the following comments: 1. It is a decent sumi type ink and benefits from slight dilution 2. It is not remotely waterproof, but sumi ink never is 3. The nozzle dispenser is a good idea which prevents spills 4. It produces good ink washes if required in drawings 5. It is very black when undiluted 6. It should never be used in a fountain pen - it will clog the feed 7. It is excellent value for money, especially when compared to Kuretake 8. On water colour paper it can show interesting textured granulation

## Features

- This bottled Sumi ink is made in Japan for calligraphy and brush painting.
- It is a permanent, stable ink. It cannot be re-wetted or reused once it dries. It does not tend to bleed during the wet-mounting process.
- After using, the brush can be easily rinsed by dipping in water.

- Recommended to sumi-e and watercolorist artists.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hi there.  Is this ink waterproof, once dry?  Has anyone used it for under-painting?  Thanks.**
A: Yes, it is waterproof once it completely dries. Don't use leftover or overnight ink. Use fresh ink and avoid too thick built-up.

**Q: how many bottles in one pack?**
A: It is 1 bottle, they do not come in packs.

**Q: Can i use this ink with a dip pen (Gnib)?**
A: Yes but Daiso is not a good brand, it's the Japanese $1 store. Kaimei brand sumi ink is very good for dip pen.

**Q: is this oil based? I want to use it doing suminagashi**
A: Thank you for your question.This item is made of water.
